Hello, I noticed that my system disk free space was declining. After some checks I found that underr

C:\Users\François\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wjZDDDl0.Profil 1\storage\to-be-removed

were a lot of directory with GBo of data. In may I deleted all these subdirectories and went from 23 to 33 Go free space Yesterday same thing I went from 25 to 41 Go free space.

Why are these files keeping accumulating and are not removed automatically as per name ? Thanks. I'm using Windows 11 Famille Version 25H2 Installé le 25/11/2024 Build du système d’exploitation 26200.8737 Pack de fonctionnalités Pack d’expérience de fonctionnalités Windows 1000.26100.334.0

Since the last two updates, Not including the current update as I have not downloaded it because I am sick of them, I cannot see any images on Sky news articles. There is just a white box where the images should be.

Also the back/forward buttons are useless. I do a search on Bing and click through the pages then when I , say get to page six and retype for another article the previous search doesn't exist when I use the back button. I have to remember and retype the name of the article I am looking for.

Unable to Have Firefox Permanently Allow the Google Voice browser Use of my Mic + Send Notifications, and "REMEMBER THIS DECISION"

Hi, I've been trying to permanently allow (instead of the default Temporarily Allow) the Google Voice desktop browser permission to use my microphone and send notifications.

Whenever I open the Google Voice browser in the address bar, there is no option to have Firefox PERMANENTLY allow mic and notifications and REMEMBER THIS DECISION. When I go to into the Firefox settings under Privacy & Security -> Microphone, there are no websites listed in the box in order to allow access.

Is there a way to Permanently Allow the Google Voice website to use my microphone and send notifications and REMEMBER this decision?

Thank you for your advice! Lisa

I just noticed today that my drop down from my address bar no longer had anything to offer. So I went to my history in my MAIN profile and there is not a single entry. I can type in a URL to say amazon.com, and without even closing Firefox, I can clear the address bar and type ama and NOTHING!!!. Instead of messing around with any files in particular I went to my MAIN profile, because my second profile which isn't used often seems to be just fine. I deleted every file in that folder. I took out my external SSD which I backed up on June 22 and copied all the files from it into the empty profile. I then opened up Firefox and voila, it appears all my history was there. Then just to double-check myself I started typing and nothing. I hadn't even closed Firefox and once again, all my history is now gone. Does anybody have any thoughts?

I even deleted Places.sqlite, places.sqlite-shm, and places.sqlite-wal so that Firefox would rebuild them. After they reappeared I overwrote Places.sqlite with a backup but none of that helped. That was an AI suggestion, as I am not that well versed.

Thank You, Bruce

Firefox does not ask where to save downloads. They are simply saved automatically and then opened.,

1. I have no idea where a PDF was saved to when it opens.

2. When it is open (it opens in Foxit Reader), I can not delete the PDF. (aside: I consider this is flaw, but that is Foxit Reader's problem, not Firefox's. Or, is it really?)

I want downloads save to the same place ALWAYS or I want the option to ALWAYS specify where to save a download.

How do I achieve that goal?

My browser (latest nightly) thinks its a word processor. Enter key in Google search drops to a new line

My Firefox browser (nightly snap 154.0a1 on Ubuntu 24.04) has been misbehaving lately (~2 weeks now) and I'm at a loss why.

First, when I scroll using the mouse wheel, the scrollbar continuously shoots back to the top constantly during scrolling.

Second, when I type text in a Google box and hit enter key, it drops to the next line - like one would expect in a text processing application.

Third, when on YouTube, trying to rewind/forward video instead starts navigating to clickable links. Of particular note (see the attached screenshots) is the appearance of text (such as "Skip navigation" and "Volume" to name a few) - something I've never seen before.

This happens with a new profile as well.

Now, I know that nightly will sometimes have broken items but this is a weird one. I at one time thought the batteries on my wireless keyboard could be responsible but new batteries (confirmed new with a digital multimeter) did not change that.

I'm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS fully patched. Anyone here with ideas on what it might be?

I'm on Windows 11. After I added some plug-ins and extensions to replace the ones that went missing during your last update, my bookmarks also went missing. (They were there before I replaced the plug-ins and extensions.) I followed your instructions on how to access my bookmark back ups, and found them. However, everytime, I tried to install one of the backups, I ended up with no bookmarks at all in Firefox.

Please help, I have no access to any of my accounts!

Thanks,

There are a million links when searching this problem; none of the fixes work and a search on this site was nothing more than FAQs about bookmarks and what they used for, blah blah. Astonishing, for such a big issue that seems to be a legacy problem now. So little clarity over the gazillion alleged fixes for this. Tempts you to get a browser with paid professional support... The consultants I support as a programmer and using Firefox are asking again frequently, "Any idea when we'll get a clean version that simply fixes all the bugs and forgets about flashy new shit and all that ?" A very compelling question...

Is there a handy fix I can transmute easily and won't have to waste hours on for each person etc ?

My javascript cannot detect the difference beween closing a new preferences tab and a new non domain tab. I believe this is for security reasons. This leads to one of my custom messages popping up when closing a non domain tab, which is not standard behavour on other websites on FireFox. If the user does or does not follow the popup instructions everything works fine. My question is: does this disqualify my website from being posted to the internet for FireFox browsing, or is it tolerable to users and to Mozilla? I have intentionally left out of this post technical information about my javascript. Believe me, I have tried countless ways to code my way out of this situation but due to Firefox's strong security measures, it is impossible. I should mention that perhaps if my script was an addon I would have accesss to the TAbs API which might offer a solution. The purpose of the script is to update the website to changes to the default Browser Zoom Level as found in the prefererence settings. Does anyone know if this purpose is compatible with FireFox Addon developement?Thanks so much for directing me to informed assistance. I hope the post is not "TMI"!!
